Abstract: Modern educators believe that the school is still the place for teaching the fundamental processes, but they believe, too, that the school is the place for developing desirable attitudes, ideals and social competences.1 During the last few decades, the objectives of education have changed from a mastery of the three "R's" to the appreciation for and the development of each personality in the classroom. The modern emphasis is on the individual, his needs and interests. In the past there have been great discrepancies between children's interests and the textbooks that are placed in the classroom. Every child was given a single text and usually a given chapter and page as an assignment. There were few provisions made for individual differences.
